Select Proof 1911 Quarter Eagle

1911 $2 1/2 PR63 PCGS. The logic behind the matte proof
finish was that by taking away the reflective surfaces that had
characterized past proofs, the viewer would have fewer distractions
and thus focus on the design and its detail. In that respect, the
texture on this Select proof Indian quarter eagle does an admirable
job, channeling attention away from butterscotch-brown fields and
toward the sharp details of the portrait and eagle. A couple of
small disturbances in the obverse matte surface, including a
contact mark high on the cheekbone and another at the throat,
account for the grade. Population: 7 in 63, 61 finer
(3/11).(Registry
